Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has endorsed a 'bunker mode' proposal for crypto, urging developers to harden systems now. The call follows researcher Justin Drake's warning that rapidly advancing AI could break current cryptographic math and threaten private-key wallet security within months, potentially before quantum computers pose a similar risk. The debate is circulating widely in crypto circles, with developers weighing whether to accelerate migration to more secure cryptographic standards.
